I'm surprised we never tried playing Harmes as more of a forward over the last couple of years. 

He's always been a good mark overhead and has a knack of finding the goals.

Should've sent Tomlinson to North for pick 2 when we had the chance 😆

When were we offered pick 2 for Tomlinson?

I generally agree and think that's his best spot (despite inaccuracy in front of goals late this season). But in reality Sparrow held that forward/midfield rotation position and was in better form than Harmes.

He can't play ANB or Pickett's roles. He doesn't play Fritsch or Melkshams role. And he doesn't play Petty, Brown or TMacs role. And ultimately they went with Spargo, Woewodin or Laurie ahead of him at times as the 7th option.

It's a surprisingly tough forward line to crack!

Had several chances to hit the scoreboard late in the season and blew them all from memory. Richmond and Hawthorn games? 

But I agree, he is/was good overhead for his size.

He got figured out. Didn’t add any strings to his bow. Honest trier but not much more.

You saying a hard tag? 

Actually, I thought he had a real future as a tagger

Was fantastic in GF

All the best James, always a demon premiership player. If Oskar Baker can get 18 senior games in 2023. I'm sure you'll get more than you did this year

Bulldogs have 39, 47 and 52.

The will need to keep approximately 1000 draft points (based off a bid at 13 and 20% discount)

39, 47 and 52 = 1008 points.

They've traded their future 1st so can't trade a f2 or f3. 

Interesting to see how this trade gets done.

 

Third club may get involved?

Also a knack for getting in the bloody way!


Any player we might be interested in?

Going to be quite thin on for midfield depth without Dunstan, JJ and Harmes. 

 

Straight swap with the Bont seems fair

How does going to the Bulldogs help Harmes get regular midfield time? Surely their midfield is equal to ours, and probably bats deeper.

Regardless, we are seriously lacking midfield depth and anyone thinking that Laurie might ever be an AFL midfielder is delirious. Woewodin may get there in a couple of years, and Howes is not an inside mid.

Love Harmsey and wish him all the best, but:

1 - I hate Bevarage and the Dogs

2 - How does this make any sense for him.  No more opportunities at the dogs is there?

Dogs not bad. much better than the bombers 

can handle this

Who is even left as depth? Laurie, Woewodin? Yet to debut - Howes, Moniz-Wakefield?

Concerning.

Apparently some mild interest in Billings

If we didn't get Fullarton I'd be interested in Jordon Sweet as a young promising ruck - always going to be bridesmaid to English 

Would be ironic if they give us the Pick (Future 4th) we traded for Schache last year.

 


In reality, one of their third round picks probably gets it done.

Wonder if we could do Harmes and 41 for 39 & 52?

52 would be fodder for a Brown bid match.

 

Hopefully he gives all his stuff to Jon Amos

All the best Harmesy.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
